Perfect: I am Shi An from Shicun, and I am Huang’s brother!

Chapter 279 Supreme Dojo
On the other side, Shi Hao, who had left with the old man, was secretly frustrated. This old man was not only not the former dean of Tianxian Academy, but he was not even a member of Tianxian Academy. Instead, he was a member of a dilapidated sect that consisted of only two people, including himself.

However, despite his frustration, Shi Hao decided to stay because the sect the old man belonged to was very similar to a sect that his brother Xiao An had mentioned before, and he had just read and learned some of the sect's precious techniques.

But to his surprise, the old man's teaching method was to have him carry a mountain on his back and run tens of thousands of miles every day, supposedly to train his physical body so that he could achieve the unity of body, method, and spirit, and then cultivate his so-called invincible method - the Eight-Nine Heavens Technique!
This was the main reason for his extreme frustration at the moment. He considered himself to be a very diligent person. Apart from occasionally indulging in food, he was very serious about cultivation and never slacked off.

But today, being "whipped" like this by this old man is truly unlucky; I've definitely joined a cult.

"damned!"

Cursing inwardly, Shi Hao had no choice but to shoulder another heavy burden and begin his frantic run, for any slackening would result in his expulsion from the group!
"Boom!"

The earth shook, and in the desert thousands of miles away from the Celestial Academy, many creatures were stunned. Not far away, a huge mountain was rushing around, looking extremely strange!

Obviously, because Shi Hao's height was so insignificant compared to the mountain, he was completely ignored by outsiders, who saw only a mountain rushing by.

On this day, the legend of "Mad Mountain" appeared in the desert!
A few days later, inside the Celestial Academy, upon hearing this news, Shi An, who was leading Yun Xi and Huo Ling'er to go for a stroll outside, paused in his tracks, then turned around and smiled at the two, saying, "Little Xi, Ling'er, let me take you somewhere!"

"Where to go?"

Upon hearing this, Yunxi and the other person exchanged a glance, both becoming curious about where he intended to take them.

However, when faced with their questions, Shi An did not answer directly, but smiled mysteriously and said, "You'll know when the time comes."

"Come with me!"

After saying that, Shi An took the lead and set off.

Seeing this, Yunxi and Huoling'er didn't say anything more and simply followed behind him, since he wouldn't harm them.

And so, led by Shi An, the three of them wandered around and soon arrived at a ruin.

Broken walls and rubble scattered everywhere, an indescribable desolation and decay, even sorrow.

"Whoo~"

A gentle breeze blows, the ancient trees sway, and the tall grass grows so densely that it can overwhelm a person.

"Brother An, where is this?"

Looking around at the scenery, Yunxi couldn't help but ask a question.

Huo Ling'er, standing to the side, looked at Shi An with a similarly puzzled expression, waiting for his explanation.

All this is because the place is too dilapidated. Apart from wild grass, there are only cracked foundations, broken stone pillars, and rubble, giving people a feeling of coldness and desolation.

However, before Shi An could speak, a voice suddenly came from not far away, which answered the two's questions.

"Look, this is the small, dilapidated mountain gate. It is said that it once caused a great uproar."

Not far away, a young man in the uniform of the Celestial Academy pointed at the dilapidated mountain gate and spoke hurriedly. Beside him, a woman in the same uniform looked at the ruins and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement: "Is this the legendary Supreme Daoist Temple? It looks very impressive. It must have been very grand and a great sect in the past."

Hearing the woman's words, which seemed to express some longing for the dilapidated mountain gate, another young man with deer antlers immediately retorted, "Hey, junior sister, you're mistaken! This is just a small, dilapidated mountain gate; this is its true form."

Upon hearing this, the woman felt puzzled and looked at the young man with confusion, saying, "But looking at the ruins now, I think this Supreme Daoist Temple must have been quite magnificent back then."

“Junior Sister Xiaorou, you can’t just look at appearances. This little shabby sect has no glory to speak of. On the contrary, it’s all bad reputation, you could even say it’s infamous.”

Seeing that the girl still harbored some envy, the antler-wearing youth couldn't help but smile slightly, then turned to the leading youth and said, "Don't you agree, Senior Brother Liu?"

Seeing the young man with deer antlers bring out Senior Brother Liu, the woman named Xiao Rou also said, "Please, Senior Brother Liu, clear up my doubts!"

Looking at Junior Sister Xiaorou's delicate appearance, Senior Brother Liu smiled and said, "Since Junior Sister wants to hear it, then Senior Brother will tell you the story."

"Speaking of which, the Dao Master of this Supreme Daoist Temple is actually a..."

After only uttering two sentences, Senior Brother Liu paused slightly, looked around, and only after seeing no one else did he continue, "He's an extremely eccentric character!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Rou's curiosity was immediately piqued, and she quickly asked, "How is it strange?"

It has to be said that Xiao Rou's performance greatly satisfied Senior Brother Liu's little scheme, and a smile instantly appeared on his face: "Back then, this Dao Master was like a rat crossing the street, hated by everyone."

"Can you imagine being hunted down by masters from all sects, an enemy of the whole world? How evil must one be to be like that? There was a saying at the time to describe him: so evil that his head was covered in sores and his feet were oozing pus. He was truly an extreme case."

"Do you know how these mountain gate ruins came to be, as you see them?"

At this point, Senior Brother Liu paused for a moment, and seeing the eager looks on their faces, he continued to laugh loudly, "Stolen!"

"This mountain gate was originally the archway of the Creation Academy, but one night, he carried it away and transported it here."

This explanation left Xiaorou speechless. Could that really work?

"In addition, he also stole our old dean's Phoenix Beak Scissors. While our Sacrificial Spirit was asleep, he secretly cut off most of its feathers and used them to forge a broken fan."

"Moreover, he almost... also..."

Although Senior Brother Liu hadn't finished speaking, Xiao Rou couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "My God, the old dean's great-granddaughter, could she be that vice dean senior?"

Hearing this, Yunxi and Huoling'er couldn't help but find it amusing. But then Yunxi's expression froze, because Senior Brother Liu then mentioned the Celestial Race.

Not far away, Senior Brother Liu was pointing to the ruins of a giant palace in the distance and said, "There are also the ruins of the giant palace on that mountain. It was originally called Tianque. It is said that he stole it from the Celestial Race."

"In short, this person is extremely despicable. He steals teachers' skills, beats his teachers in the head, and threatens and extorts his fellow disciples. He has a long list of infamous deeds that are too numerous to mention."

"In the past, in order to learn from others, he even joined more than a dozen ancient sects that ruled over a region and looked down on hundreds of states, but in the end, they all became traitors."
